"إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهلِ الْجنَّة مَنْزِلَةً رجُلٌ صَرَفَ اللَّه وجههُ عن النَّارِ قِبل الجنَّةِ، ومثَّل لهُ شجرةً ذات ظِلِّ، فقال: أَىْ ربِّ، قدِّمْنِى إِلى هذه الشَّجرةِ. أَكُونُ فِى ظلِّها، فقال اللَّهُ: هل عَسَيْتَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنى غيرَهُ، قال: لا، وعِزَّتِك، فقدَّمهُ اللَّهُ إِليها، ومثَّل لهُ شجرةً ذات ظِلٍّ وثمرٍ قال: أَىْ ربِّ، قدِّمنى إِلى هذِه الشَّجرةِ فأكون فِى ظلَّها وآكل من ثمرها فقال اللَّه له: هل عَسيت إِنّ أَعطَيتكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسألَنِى غَيرَهُ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لا، وَعِزَّتِكَ، فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيها، فَيُمَثِّلُ اللَّهُ لَهُ شَجَرَةً أُخْرَى ذَاتَ ظِلِّ، وَثَمَر وَمَاءٍ، فَيَقُولُ: أَىْ رَبِّ قَدِّمنى إِلى هذِه الشَّجَرَةِ أَكونُ فِى ظلِّها، وآكُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِها، وأَشْرَبُ مِن مائها فيقولُ له: هل عَسْيتَ إِن فعلتُ (ذلك) أَن تَسأَلَنِى غَيرهُ؟ فَيقُولُ: لَا وعِزَّتِكَ لا أَسألُكَ غيره، فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا، فَيَبْرُزُ لَهُ بَابُ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ: أَىْ ربِّ قَدِّمنِى إِلى بابِ الجنَّةِ فأَكُونَ تحتَ نِجافِ الْجنَّةِ فَأَرى أَهلَها، فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيها، فَيرى الْجنَّةَ وما فِيها، فَيقُولُ: أَى ربِّ، أَدخِلْنِى الْجنَّةَ فَيُدخلُهُ إِيَّاها، فَإِذَا دخَلَ الْجنَّةَ قَالَ: هذَا لىِ فَيقُولُ اللَّه له: تمنَّ، فَيتَمنَّى ويُذَكِّرُهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ: سَلْ مِنِّى كَذَا وكَذَا، حتَّى إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ بِه الأَمانىُّ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ: هُوَ لَكَ وعَشْرَةُ أَمثَالِهِ، ثُمَّ يدخُلُ الْجنَّةَ، فَيدخُلُ عليه زَوجتَاهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ، فَيقُولانِ: الحمْدُ للَّهِ الَّذى أَحْيَاكَ لَنَا، وأَحْيَانَا لَكَ فَيقُولُ: ما أُعْطىَ أَحدٌ مِثْلَ ما أُعْطِيتُ، وأَدْنى أَهْل النَّارِ عَذَابًا يُنْعلُ مِنْ نَار بِنَعلَينِ يغْلىِ دِماغُهُ مِنْ حَرَارةِ نَعلَيه".

"Indeed, the lowest of the people of Paradise in rank is a man whom Allah turns his face away from the Fire toward Paradise. He is shown a tree with shade, and he says: 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree, so that I may be in its shade.' Allah says: 'Perhaps if I give you that, you will ask Me for something else?' He says: 'No, by Your might.' So Allah brings him close to it. Then he is shown another tree with shade and fruit, and he says: 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree, so that I may be in its shade and eat of its fruit.' Allah says to him: 'Perhaps if I give you that, you will ask Me for something else?' He says: 'No, by Your might.' So Allah brings him close to it. Then Allah shows him another tree with shade, fruit and water, and he says: 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree, so that I may be in its shade, eat of its fruit and drink of its water.' He says to him: 'Perhaps if I do that, you will ask Me for something else?' He says: 'No, by Your might, I will not ask You for anything else.' So Allah brings him close to it, and the gate of Paradise appears to him. He says: 'O Lord, bring me close to the gate of Paradise, so that I may be beneath the doorway of Paradise and see its people.' So Allah brings him close to it, and he sees Paradise and what is in it. He says: 'O Lord, admit me into Paradise.' So He admits him into it. When he enters Paradise, he says: 'This is mine.' Allah says to him: 'Wish.' So he wishes, and Allah reminds him: 'Ask Me for such-and-such and such-and-such,' until, when his wishes run out, the Mighty and Majestic says: 'It is yours, and ten times its like.' Then he enters Paradise, and his two wives of the wide-eyed houris come in to him and say: 'Praise be to Allah who gave you life for us and gave us life for you.' He says: 'No one has been given the like of what I have been given.' And the lightest punishment among the people of the Fire is one who is shod with two sandals of fire, his brain boiling from the heat of his sandals."
